Description

When your front axle starts making noise or develops play during turns, it might not be worn parts causing the problem—sometimes it’s just a matter of getting the clearances right. When you notice the front end of your tractor wandering or feel play in the steering, it’s often these stub axle bearings crying for attention. This precision shim helps you dial in the proper bearing preload and axle alignment, eliminating the looseness that makes your tractor feel sloppy in the field.

What You’re Getting

Precision-manufactured steel shim for accurate front axle adjustments
Proper thickness to restore correct bearing clearances and preload
Eliminates axle play that causes premature wear and poor steering feel
Direct replacement part that fits your tractor’s original specifications

Built for Real Farm Work

This shim fits the powerful Case MXM and Puma series tractors, plus New Holland T7, T7000, and TM series machines that handle the heavy lifting on today’s farms. The New Holland T6 series represents versatile mid-range tractors (95 to 180 horsepower) ideal for mixed farming operations including dairy, livestock management, and row crop cultivation where four-wheel drive capability is essential for optimal traction. The T7 series tractors (150 to 340 horsepower) deliver exceptional performance for intensive agricultural operations including heavy tillage, large-scale planting, and harvesting applications requiring maximum traction in challenging field conditions. Whether you’re pulling big implements through tough ground or running a loader all day, these are the tractors that need tight, responsive steering.

Made to Last

Farm equipment takes constant abuse from field work, road travel, and the endless turning that comes with daily operations. This shim is manufactured from quality steel to precise tolerances, ensuring it maintains the correct spacing under the stress and vibration of real farm work. This bearing is built with quality materials and precise tolerances to stand up to years of hard use without developing the play that ruins steering feel and wears out other expensive parts.

Installation Notes

This is typically used during front axle rebuilds or when adjusting bearing clearances to factory specifications. Installation requires partial disassembly of the front axle housing and proper hydraulic press equipment to remove worn bearings and install new components, so always inspect half shafts for wear or damage during bearing replacement and check for proper lubrication levels in the axle housing, using appropriate sealants and gaskets during reassembly to prevent contamination. If you’re doing the work yourself, have your service manual handy for the proper torque specs and adjustment procedures.
